KARLSTAD, a city in Deerwood Township, sections 18, 19, and 24, was incorporated as a village August 28, 1905, and separated from the township on May 10, 1911. The first settler, Carl August Carlson, was born in Sweden in 1854 and came to the United States in 1881 and to the county in 1883; he sold the townsite to the Soo Line when they built through his farm, which encouraged many businesses to move there from Pelan. Its post office was called Klingville, 1904-5, at which time the name suggested was Clayton, under which it was platted in 1904, but became Karlstad for the city of Karlstad in Sweden.

Waters of the
Dancing Sky Scenic Byway Web: www.watersofthedancingsky.org This route tracks the Minnesota-Canada border for nearly half of it's length. As the routes name suggests, this far northern byway offers nighttime visitors an excellent chance of seeing the magnificent Aurora Borealis, better known as Northern Lights. The route touches the shore of the vast Lake of the Woods, and ends at Rainy Lake, another huge border lake, one of many that make up Minnesota's water-based Voyageurs National Park. All these lakes offer extraordinary fishing, and Voyageurs is especially popular as a destination for houseboat vacations, where visitors can rent a floating home to moor in a secluded bay of their choice within the park. State parks along the route include Lake Bronson on the western end, Hayes Lake, Zippel Bay and Franz Jevne. |
